Had a dream last night
That ended all too soon
A moment I’d like frozen
Escaped my grasp,
As it does, over and over
“I Rochelle take thee Corey
To by my husband,
My partner in life
And my one true love”
There I stand with you
My beautiful white dress
Tears of happiness,
Streaming down my face
My hand in yours
“I will cherish our union
And love you more
Each and every day
Than I did the day before”
I look up and you smile
You Quietly whisper
“I love you”
Your beautiful eyes so sincere
So loving and warm
“I will trust you and respect you
Laugh with you and cry with you
Loving you faithfully
Through good times and bad”
You squeeze my hand
My bridesmaid hands me a tissue
To wipe my tears
My heart beats faster
As your ring slides down my finger
“Regardless of the obstacles
We may face together”
I smile, knowing finally
That everything is okay
“You may kiss the bride”
Im swept into your arms
And into a sweet embrace
“I give you my hand
My heart, and my love
From this day forward
For as long as we both shall live”
Then I wake up
And remember my pain
Remember our fight
Tears fall from my eyes
My chest tightens
I roll over and hug my pillow tight
Hoping sleep will come back to me
‘Cause if it means having you
I’ll sleep forever…
